The Broad Ripple Bulldog Bungalow
We really enjoyed our stay here. Will absolutely come back on our next trip to Indy.

The Burlington Bungalow
Enjoyed my stay at this lovely home. Totally renovated and cozy. Private yet close to everything in Indy. Thank you!

Fletcher Place Bungalow-Best Downtown Location!
An excellent AirBnb. Host was responsive. Check-in was simple. Home was impressively clean. Had "the things you need" in an AirBnb (knives, etc.). Even went the extra mile and included some pantry essentials and robes. Location is walkable to many great restaurants and coffee shops. Walked to Sun King and Metazao Breweries. Landscaping is beautiful. Owner lives next door so would be there for any needs. About the best you could get from an AirBnb.

5 Bd home w/ GAME ROOM, Pet Friendly- Near I69/465
This is the second stay at Nick's place. We had another wonderful time and will always choose to stay at Nick's place when we are in town for the family gatherings. We all love the game room and when we want to relax and watch a movie, there's plenty of space for that too. Thank you for the great stay.

The Vintage Farmhouse
The accommodations were great. I felt right at home in the kitchen. The beds are comfortable. We were traveling thru, and just spent one night. This accommodation was just perfect!

The Ripple Effect, Walkable SoBro Home
Great location with a sizeable unit fit for a medium sized group to feel free to comfortably move about. Plenty of life and cookie culture with walking distance while maintaining a quaint neighborhood presence.

*Trendy Airbnb* 1 block to Nightlife!Parking.HI-FI
Katie was an amazing host and super friendly!! The cute little home smelled amazing the second we walked in. Everything was very clean. It was only a couple blocks from the HiFi concert venue we went to, which was awesome!! The parking behind the house was so convenient! The only thing I would mention is the gate behind the house is a bit tricky, so you just need to be careful. It helps if you have someone get out and open and close the gate while another person parks the car. I loved the little complementary snacks and the record player!! Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I would definitely stay here again!!

Dogs OK! Temp/Corporate Housing & Insurance Claims
This place is amazing. It had everything we needed and our dog was so happy, safe and comfortable. The communication was fast and very accommodating. We were able to have a relaxing stay and really didn't want to leave. 10 out of 10.

*Luxury Walk in the Park* - King Bed
Great location! Close to everything. Walking trails next to complex. Very clean place and hosts are very responsive. Would definitely stay again.

King Bed - 1B/1BTH - POOL
Great location! Clean and cozy place. Lots of restaurants near by. Check in and check out instructions were simple!

Hot tub! 5 min to downtown Indy!
This place is amazing!!! I highly recommend for anyone coming through this area!! Jesse is a great host and very easy to get along with

The Neighborhood Nook
We only stayed for one night while in town seeing a musical, but we had a great stay! Will definitely try to stay here again if in the area. The place was super cute, clean, updated, and comfortable! We didn't get a chance to try the hot tub, but it looked really nice. Oh, and there is a little bunch of restaurants within easy walking distance. We went to Upland College Ave Tasting Room and the food/drinks were delicious!

The Lighthouse Oasis
Beautiful place. Plenty of fun things to do inside the place alone, not to mention close to a lot of restaurants and outside adventures. Enjoyed our stay. Will definitely be back soon. He is very detailed and he responds quickly to anything. Love the shower head and whirlpool bath tub ! Great stay ! 10/10.

5 minutes to Gainbridge/ 7 minutes to Lucas Oil
Wonderful stay. So cute and comfortable. Bedrooms are downstairs and kitchen/living room are upstairs. Just FYI. I have a torn meniscus and somehow I missed that so the stairs were hard. But that's on me. Awesome outdoor spaces!

Bates'n Around
We stayed at Ben’s place for a bachelorette party. The rooms were spacious and the beds were super comfortable! The hot tub was very clean and worked well. Kitchen had a great array of dishes to make a large breakfast spread, and plenty of cups/utensils, ect. Only thing we were missing was a full length mirror 😆 a group of 7 ladies definitely missed that. But overall, the stay was great and Ben was very prompt with his replies. If we come to Indy again soon, we will definitely stay at one his properties! Thank you Ben!

3 Bedroom House - 1 Block From Broad Ripple Ave
After researching where to stay during our quick friends' trip to Indianapolis, we decided to find a place in Broad Ripple. We wanted to be in a good neighborhood with places to eat, drink, & shop nearby. Daniel's place was in this area, so we chose it. What a great surprise to be within 5 minutes of walking to all we were looking for! We went for BBQ & then a few pubs the first night. The next day we walked around again to shop & eat. The pictures of the house don't do it justice. Its much cuter in person. The beds were comfy. Plenty of towels. Very clean kitchen. Sizable couches to relax on & talk with friends. Nice variety of coffees to choose from (but the Keurig was kind of tricky to figure out). I'd definitely stay at Daniel's place again.

Beautiful home w/ amenities - Close to Downtown!
Hosts were amazing, home was fantastic, incredibly well stocked (best Airbnb every and we stay at a TON), very responsive...highly, highly recommend the house and the hosts!

Incredibly Large 7 Bdr Downtown Sleeps 15
Great host and a spacious place for a family get-together.

Private 4 BDRM house, 5 Miles from Downtown #7
The house spotless and well laid out. Joe gave great directions on the check in and check out process. House was easy to find and in a nice location.

Hoover Hideaway <1 mile from Grand Park-Team Room!
Home was only 6 mins from Grand Park where we had a soccer tournament. Super convenient Location for our needs. Having a second bathroom was a huge plus for us . Would stay here again. We had no issues . Contacted Jeff one time; he responded quickly.

THE BEST of Downtown! Entire Home-Stay in Elegance
Amazing location in Indianapolis! We were in town for the FDIC show and it was a perfect location to the convention center, restaurants and nightlife. I highly recommend!

Great Location! 3BR Downtown Home steps from Canal
We enjoyed our stay at the rental. It was spacious and it was everything we wanted and needed. We will be back in two years if it’s available.

10 mins to Grand Park + Fam friendly quiet nbrhd
We were super glad to find Cara's place after another reservation (different host, not on Airbnb) fell thru last minute. The house was very nice, clean, and just the right size place for our family. We were also happy to find out that their company helps a local missions ministry. So cool! We would definitely book this place again when we return to Indiana for next basketball season!

All About Indianapolis
Nestled amid Indiana’s beautiful green pastures and farmland, Indianapolis is one of the largest cities in the Midwest and serves as the state’s capital and cultural hub. Its streets are full of soaring skyscrapers, grand government buildings, and Art Deco masterpieces. A variety of vibrant murals add splashes of color to the urban landscape, and the riverfront promenade offers sweeping views of the White River. An eight-mile walking trail connects Indy’s cultural districts, a convenient thoroughfare for exploring the city’s top attractions without getting behind the wheel of a car.
Then again, cars helped put Indianapolis on the map. Just beyond downtown, you’ll find its legendary speedway, home to one of the country’s most famous motor circuits. People come from all over the world to catch a race here and visit the on-site museum. If motorsports exhaust you, Indianapolis and its surrounding area has plenty of green space to go around, including a handful of top-notch parks like Brown County State Park and Mounds State Park, where you’ll find well-marked trails full of locals hiking and biking in no particular hurry.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Indianapolis
Indianapolis experiences cold winters, hot summers, and mild temperatures in the spring and fall. Although the weather in Indiana can be extreme, there is no bad time to secure an Indianapolis vacation rental. During the spring, summer, and fall, you can take advantage of the walkable downtown and riverfront promenade and put some mileage in on the nearby hiking trails. In winter, the downtown lights up in a sea of Christmas lights, and you can go sledding on one of the many hills or lace up your ice skates for a whirl around one of the city's many outdoor skating rinks. Indianapolis hosts several city-wide festivals and events, including a lively St. Patrick's Day Festival in March, a celebration of independent film in April, and a world-famous car race in May with more than 50 events and programs. In August, the Indiana State Fair rolls out 17 days of concerts, carnival rides, and high-caloric snacks like deep-fried cheesecake bites.
